Breathing-machine bag also held pot

A 41-year-old Shelby Township man was arrested on a marijuana-possession charge Sunday afternoon after being stopped because of an expired license plate.

The man was eastbound on M-14 in a Toyota Corolla shortly after 3 p.m. when an officer noticed the expired plate, a Plymouth Township Police Department report said. The officer pulled over the driver just west of I-275.

There was a duffel bag in the Corolla, police said, and when the officer asked what was in it, the driver answered that it was breathing apparatus for his sleep apnea, and opened the bag to show the device. That’s when the officer began to smell marijuana, the report said.

The man admitted he had marijuana, and a plastic bag of suspected marijuana was found in the duffel bag, police said. The substance, 4.5 grams, later tested positive for marijuana.

No licenses

• A 22-year-old Garden City man was arrested for driving with a suspended license Saturday evening after being stopped for speeding on a motorcycle on Hines Drive near Gunsolly.

It was about 7:30 p.m., a police report said, when an officer using radar clocked the man, driving a Suzuki, at 55 mph in a 40-mph zone. The man said told the officer he didn’t know how fast was traveling because the speedometer read 45 mph.

The motorcyclist said he didn’t have a license because he hadn’t paid reinstatement fees, police said.

• A 39-year-old Detroit man was arrested for driving with a suspended license after a traffic stop on Lilley near Postiff about 10:30 p.m. April 28.

An officer stopped the man because the license plate on the 1994 GMC Suburban he was driving belonged on a Buick, police said.

The man told the officer he had purchased the Suburban five days earlier and hadn’t yet transferred the plate. The man also had no license, police said.
